Honouring Margaret Mahy (1936-2012)

In honour of this brilliant and beloved author, a group of NZ writers and illustrators are co-ordinating a nationwide read-aloud. There may also be events organised in Australia and other countries.

On Saturday August 11, libraries - and other venues - all around the country will host writers, illustrators, and other enthusiasts reading aloud from their favourite Margaret Mahy books.

Owen Marshall and others will be at Timaru Library Children's Area at 10.30am on Saturday 11 August to share some of Margaret's wonderful stories.  Everyone is welcome to join us!
